Smoking

[TheDudeJ]

Hello everybody, so my friends and I have tried smoking a cigarette a few times, u know just to try and yesterday my friend's sister snitched on him and he got in trouble. Now I'm quite scared his parents could call all of our parents as well, so my question is if u ever had to deal with smoking and your parents and what happened?
btw I'm not a smoker, just tried!

"Could Call"-I would not worry
bout it. If anything IS said-say No.
Smoking is a bad habit that I would
give second thought to if only for ur
health. We r all curious to try some
thing once.

If anything happens just tell your parents that you tried it just to try it and have no intention of smoking.

Dont panic or worry yourself about it, you could make yourself ill worrying about something that might not happen. If your parents do find out and tell you off what is the worst that could happen, they are not going to shoot you. It will be a one time telling off and thats it.
You may be surprised and they might just sit you down and talk to you about how smoking is bad etc. You then just say,
How you know Its bad you only wanted to see what it was like and that there was a group of you trying it and you did not want to be the odd one out and not fit in, peer pressure.
Most likely your parents tried it would they were young.

Smoking is bad for you bro. Don’t smoke, it stinks bad to
If they do call your rents and they talk to you be honest about it
You tried it, didn’t like it.
Tbh I’d think your parents would be really happy to hear that
Not that you tried it, but you didn’t like it, you experienced something, made a decision and are honest about it when asked
Building trust is easy
Re-building it is really really hard
It was a learning curve, I, sure they get that

I would wait until or if the other parents called your parents. If they ask say yeah I tried it but I don't like it and don't want to smoke. Try and make it not an issue, like it's not a big deal.

Smoking is bad! Don’t do it!

Nasty habit and so very addictive. All four of my grandparents smoked heavily and all four of them died of lung cancer at young ages. I'd never even think of smoking and wouldn't hang out with friends who smoke either. If a potential date or BF smoked, it would be a definite deal breaker. Stay away from the cigarettes and do something more constructive with your time. Just my opinion.

My advice is to try to stay away from smokers. Just because you don't smoke yourself, doesn't mean you won't be harmed being around those that do. If these people seem like bad influences, they might not be people you want to be with.

I agree. Honesty is always your best way out. Don't be afraid to admit if your wrong. Or even tell them that. Like yeah I tried it. I was dumb it was dumb. And I really don't want to do it. And if they happen to punish you. Just accept it and move on. All good.

I am a smoker and told them. They told me it was a really dumb idea but that I am not in trouble. They thought they had no right to lecture me because they started smoking when they were even younger than me.

My dad started smoking gradually, and then he couldn't stop.

He went from one cigarette a day to one-two packs daily. If he didn't have one, he would turn into an ape and get moody.

I really think that's where I lost him, he seemed lost and careless more often and got caught up in his own demons. He got weak, and he couldn't fight anything off.

I don't know dude. Cigarettes aren't good.
Wouldn't try it at all after seeing what it did to my dad. He never shook it off.
He was such a cool guy too, I really don't get how he just got addicted to it.

Have never had an experience with cigarettes myself, but I have had a family member who developed a severe addiction to it.
